NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

1.           Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements present the significant changes in the period, avoiding repetition of certain notes to the financial statements previously reported, and present the consolidated information, considering Management’s understanding that it provides a comprehensive view of the Company’s financial position and operational performance, complemented by certain information of the Parent Company. Hence, this interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which include the full set of notes.

The interim consolidated and separate financial statements (Parent Company) have been prepared and are presented in accordance with IAS 34 – “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and with the pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Demonstrações Intermediárias as issued by the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis - CPC) and released by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM). All financial statements relevant information is being evidenced and corresponds to the ones used by the Company’s Management.

These interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors in a meeting held on May 14, 2020.

1.1.      Reclassification of discontinued operation

In July 2019, after the additional sale of its stake in Petrobras Distribuidora S/A (BR) through a secondary public offering of shares (follow on), Petrobras' stake was reduced to 37.50% of the share capital. Then, BR ceased to be a Petrobras subsidiary.

Additionally, this transaction was characterized as a 'discontinued operation', according to CPC 31, as it is a component of the company that represents an important separate line of business. The consolidated statements of income and cash flow, for the period ended March 31, 2019, present the results and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in separate lines, as a net result of discontinued operations. The added value statements for the period ended March 31, 2019 also present the total added value to be distributed and the total added value distributed from discontinued operations, separately.

The effects on the results for the period of March 31, 2019 and cash flows related to the discontinued operation are shown below:

2.          Summary of significant accounting policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in these consolidated interim financial statements as those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019.

3.          Context, resilience measures and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

3.1.      Context

In January 2020, China reported having identified a new variant of coronavirus, causing the disease COVID-19, which was spreading quickly in its population. On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was a declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Social isolation measures arising from this pandemic affected the global economic environment, reducing the demand for oil and its oil products and triggering a shock in the oil and gas industry.

Therefore, in early April, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other countries announced a new agreement providing for the reduction of their combined production by 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd) for May and June 2020, and other levels of reductions until the end of 2021. However, this agreement caused little effect on oil prices, which remained high volatile. The Company foresees Brent prices in the medium -term will be significantly lower than recent past, converging to US$ 50 in the long-term. Thus, the Company believes the current situation demands fast and urgent cost reduction measures.

3.2.      Resilience measures

The Company, in line with the recommendations of the WHO and the Ministry of Health, announced measures to preserve the health of its employees and support the prevention of contagion in its administrative and operational areas home office, reduced work shifts in operational areas to minimize the number of workers commuting, rigorous cleaning of workplaces, distribution of PPE, testing of suspected cases, measuring body temperature and fast testing on pre-shipment for oil platforms, medical monitoring and access to telemedicine services.

Brazilian governmental authorities, in turn, implemented a set of measures to face the economic side effects of increasing and still uncertain dimensions that paralyzed world activities, aiming at helping the productive sector, mainly: Federal Government measures - (i) PIS and Cofins and INSS-Companies’ Contribution - collections were deferred to four and five months ahead; (ii) FGTS - collections from March to May 2020 were postponed to July 2020, with payment in six equal installments; (iii) System S (employer contributions to social entities that train and support employees)  - 50% reduction in rates from April to June 2020; and (iv) IOF - reduction from 3% to zero in certain operations carried out from April to July 2020. State of Pernambuco - (i) ICMS on import of fuel - deferral of up to 30 days.

As a result of the abrupt reduction on the demand and prices of oil and fuel, the Company adopted a set of measures aiming at reducing costs, postponing cash outflows and optimizing its working capital, in order to ensure its financial strength and resilience of its businesses. The main measures are:

·     

Draw down of committed credit lines (Revolving Credit Lines) in the total amount of US$ 8 billion, as well as two new lines of R$ 3.5 billion;

·     

postponement of the payment of the remaining dividends based on the annual result of 2019 (note 28);

·     

postponement of judicial deposits to 2021, in particular of a tax nature;

·     

reduction and postponement of expenses with human resources, with emphasis on: (i) postponement of payment for the 2019 Performance Award Program; (ii) postponement of the payment of 30% of the total monthly remuneration of the Board of Directors, President, Executive Officers and upper management, and between 10% to 30% of the monthly remuneration of lower management and consultants; and (iii) temporary change from shift and alert systems to administrative regime of around 3,200 employees;

·     

reduction of capital expenditures scheduled for 2020 from US$ 12 billion to US$ 8.5 billion, mainly due to the postponement of exploratory activities, interconnection of wells and construction of production and refining facilities, and the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar;

·     

reduction of 200 thousand bpd (barrels of oil per day) on its oil production from April 2020 (included the reduction of 100 thousands bpd announced in the end of March 2020), and a reduction in the utilization factor of refineries from 79% to 60%, allowing the maintenance of reasonable clearance in the storage capacity, consequently avoiding the adoption of costly measures such as the chartering of ships to store liquids. However, with the evolution of the demand for our products performing better than expected, the Company opted for the gradual return to the previous level of average oil production, accompanied by an increase in the utilization factor of the refining facilities;

·     

reduction in projected operating expenses for 2020, with an additional decrease of US$ 2 billion, mainly through: (i) hibernation of platforms operating in shallow waters, with higher lifting costs per barrel, and for which, due to the drop in oil prices, the Company estimates negative cash flows; (ii) lower expenses with stoppages in wells and optimization of production logistics; and (iii) postponement of new relevant contracts for a period of 90 days;

·     

negotiation efforts with suppliers in order to obtain postponement of cash outflows, the cancellation or suspension of certain contracts, postponement of deliveries of materials and services, reductions in price and scope of services. Regarding the postponement of agreed deliveries of materials, no cases have been identified that put advances to suppliers at risk. In the negotiations involving the cancellation or suspension of contracts, no facts have been observed that give rise to the accounting for additional obligations or penalties for the Company;

·     

as a result of the extraordinary circumstance and the structural reduction in the demand for natural gas in the Brazilian market, the Company declared force majeure in the agreement for the purchase of natural gas related to Manati field, as provided for in the contract. The Company is also negotiating with other agents in the natural gas chain aiming at reducing the effects resulting from the pandemic. Petrobras is constantly monitoring the current scenario and its developments on the gas market, reinforcing that, given the gravity, unpredictability and unprecedentedly of the subject, actions by all agents in the natural gas chain are necessary in order to reduce the impacts on the sector and, consequently, on the society.

In addition, the global adverse scenario encouraged the Company to revise its top metric relating to indebtedness, contained in the Strategic Plan 2020-2024, replacing the Net debt / EBITDA ratio with the Gross debt. The target approved for the Gross debt for 2020 is US$ 87 billion, the same level as 2019.

As a result of the implementation of the aforementioned measures, the Company, after simulating several stress scenarios, estimates that will be able to balance its financing and its cash flows. Thus, management believes that it has adequate resources to continue its operations in the short-term and, therefore, the going concern assumption is applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements.

3.3.      Effects on these interim financial statements

The impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on the economic environment were considered in the preparation of these interim financial statements. Information on key estimates and judgments that require a high level of judgment and complexity in their applications and that could materially affect the Company's financial condition and results, were disclosed in the financial statements of December 31, 2019 and revised for this interim financial statements, in order to determine possible changes in assumptions and judgments arising from current market conditions.

The results of the revision of these assumptions are presented below:

·       

oil prices and expectations for the world economy growth have presented a consistent decline. With the  impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy, the demand for oil products was also severely affected in the first months of the year. Accordingly, short, medium and long-term estimated macroeconomic scenarios and price assumptions are no longer compatible with those approved in the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan. For the long-term, in some scenarios, the Company expects these shocks on the economy and on consumer habits will be permanent, impacting the demand for oil products and, hence, Brent prices. This premise is based on the expectation that certain solutions adopted during social isolation will be preserved and become permanent to some degree. As a result, the Company anticipated the approval of a new set of assumptions for the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan. Thus, impairment losses were recognized in the first quarter of 2020, in the amount of R$ 65 billion (note 20);

·       

expected exports were impacted by the effects arising from the oil price shock and the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, a portion of highly probable future exports whose exchange rate variations were designated in hedge relationships are no longer considered highly probable, but are still expected to occur, and as a consequence the hedge relationships were revoked, in the amount of R$ 186 billion , significantly increasing in the Company's U.S. dollar/real exposure at March 31, 2020. In addition, a portion of exports designated for hedge relationships for the months of April to December 2020 are no longer expected, and consequently a portion of unrealized losses were reclassified from Other comprehensive income to the Statement of Income in the first quarter of 2020, in the amount of R$ 2.3 billion (note 30.2);

·       

inventories adjusted to net realizable value, accounting for a R$ 1.4 billion loss within cost of sales (note 11);

·       

the recognition of expected credit losses (PCE) in the company's financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss considered the expected impacts of COVID-19. For financial assets whose counterparties had ratings published by risk agencies, where the notes already reflected the effects of the pandemic, the information disclosed by such agencies was used to calculate the PCE. For other financial assets, in general, the expected effects of COVID-19 were incorporated into the PCE by identifying the deterioration in the probability of default based on observable data that considered the stratification of the debtor by area of ​​operation, type of product and region. No relevant effects have been identified;

·       

deferred tax credits were recognized based on the projected taxable profit for subsequent years (note 12.2);

·       

estimates of reserve volumes are prepared reflecting, in an integrated manner, the projects in the company's Strategic Planning portfolio, technical uncertainties and assumptions such as prices and costs. As of March 31, 2020, there was no change in the project portfolio or in the company's reserve volumes that impacted the quarterly financial statements. In addition, the current estimates of the provision for the dismantling of areas of the company largely reflect requirements that will be realized in the medium and long term. Such assumptions used for the estimates are supported by the company's Strategic Planning and Reserves estimation cycle, processes that express long-term visions. In this context, the company evaluated the main assumptions that formed the cost of dismantling areas vis-à-vis the temporal formation structure of its abandonment liabilities and concluded that there are no relevant effects that impact the provision made in the annual financial statements of 2019;

·       

there were no changes in assumptions in the recognition of revenue contracts with customers. The expectation of the customer's completion of the obligation remains at the maturity of each transaction, classified as highly probable, subject only to the fulfillment of the precedent conditions contained in the sales contracts. Customers did not indicate their intention to breach or revise the contractual terms and conditions signed until March 31, 2020;

·       

in the scope of the company's legal litigation, there are no cases related to COVID-19 with a risk of financial disbursement that directly impact the financial statements on March 31, 2020. However, the company became aware of some public civil actions in the labor field brought by unions, whose objects are related to the Resilience Plan to reduce expenses. Such actions represent obligations to do and are divided into three groups, basically questioning: (i) the measures to contain personnel expenses contained in the Resilience Plan; (ii) the criterion for removing people from the risk group; and (iii) the union's participation in the Organizational Response Structure (Estrutura Organizacional de Resposta - EOR). The company is taking legal action for each case and the likelihood of loss is not probable.

Consolidated inventories are presented less a provision for adjustment to their net realizable value. The adversity in the current global scenario, due to the impacts resulting from the pandemic of COVID-19 and the shock of oil prices, brought a significant reduction in the prices of oil and its derivatives in the international market, and consequently, in the national market, implying the constitution of adjustments in inventories to net realizable value, recognized in the income for the year as costs of products and services sold. In the period from January to March 2020, a provision of R$ 1,389 was recorded (reversal of a provision of R$ 154, in the period from January to March 2019).

As of March 31, 2020, the company had an inventory volume of oil and / or derivatives given as a guarantee of the Terms of Financial Commitment - TCF, signed in 2008 with Petros, with no relevant changes in relation to the values ​​disclosed on December 31 2019.

(*) Deferred income taxes on the remeasurement of the remaining interest in BR Distribuidora, as set out in note 30 to the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

 

The company conducts annual studies to determine the recognition of deferred tax credits in the financial statements. Exceptionally, due to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and the impacts observed on the company's operations, a new study was carried out based on the Strategic Plan (PE) approved by the Board of Directors, with an update on the main assumptions such as the price of oil brent type and exchange rate. This new study confirmed the existence of future taxable profits to support the maintenance of the balances of tax losses and deferred income and social contribution taxes recorded in the assets, with realization expected to occur in the period from 2021 to 2027.

The balance of deferred tax assets increased in the first quarter of 2020 mainly due to the foreign exchange variation on finance debt, recorded in other comprehensive income of R$ 31,826, and to impairment losses of R$ 18,913.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

 

The Petros 2 Plan has a defined contribution portion whose payments are recognized in the income statement. In the period from January to March 2020, the company's contribution to the defined contribution portion of the Petros 2 Plan was R$ 224 (R$ 227, for the period from January to March 2019, disregarding discontinued operations).

On March 18, 2020, the Deliberative Council of the Petros Foundation approved the financial statements for the 2019 financial year with accumulated deficits of R$ 2,309 and R$ 1,093 for the Petros Renegotiated (PPSP –R) and Non-Renegotiated (PPSP-NR) plans , respectively, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to entities regulated by the Conselho Nacional de Previdência Complementar (CNPC).

The deficits determined by Petros have been calculated annually by an independent actuary and are already recognized in Petrobras' financial statements for the year 2019, in accordance with the technical pronouncements issued by the Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis (CPC), approved by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários ( CVM).

The main differences in accounting practices adopted in Brazil (CNPC and CVM) between Pension Fund and Sponsor to calculate the actuarial commitment, are shown below:

New deficit settlement plan (New PED)

On April 28, 2020, the new Deficit Equation Plan (New PED) of the Petros plans of the Petrobras System Renegotiated and Non-Renegotiated (PPSP-R and PPSP-NR) was approved by the Secretariat for Coordination and Governance of State-owned Companies (Sest) and, on May 5, 2020, by the National Superintendency of Supplementary Pension Plans (Previc).

The New PED, which covers 2015 and 2018 deficits and incorporates 2019 results, was valued at R$ 33.7 billion on December 31, 2019, with R$ 32.1 billion already recognized in PED 2015 and R$ 1.6 billion referring to solving the accumulated deficit of 2018 and 2019 and other changes. Of the total amount, the amount of R$ 15.62 billion will be the responsibility of Petrobras, being in strict compliance with the principle of contributory parity provided for in Constitutional Amendment No. 20/1998. The rest of the deficit will be borne by the other sponsors and  participants of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans.

The implementation, with the start of the recalculated extraordinary contributions, will start in June 2020 and the collection period has become lifelong instead of 18 months, according to current legislation.

The recalculation of the actuarial liability with the changes proposed in the New PED is being carried out by the independent actuaries and will be recognized in Petrobras' financial statements in the second quarter of 2020. The effect of the change in regulations will be recognized in the result, while the recalculation of extraordinary contributions will be recognized in other comprehensive income in equity.

In preparing its consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of  2020, the Company considered all available information concerning legal proceedings in which the Company is a defendant, in order to estimate the amounts of obligations and probability that outflows of resources will be required.

In the period from January to March 2020, the decrease in liabilities arises mainly from changes in the following cases: (i) a reduction of    R$ 634 due to an agreement made in litigation involving the company Sete Brasil; (ii) reduction of R$ 331 referring to the agreement approved by the STF in claim for indemnity of loss of profit in a lawsuit filed by Sergás and the State of Sergipe; offset by (iii) R$ 359 in the provision for lawsuits involving a refinery engineering contract; (iv) an increase of R$ 165 due to the transfer to a probable loss in an ICMS collection action in domestic bunker oil consumption operations for chartered vessels; and (v) R$ 107 in fines for non-compliance with an accessory obligation involving the State of Rio de Janeiro.

15.2.   Judicial deposits

The main contingent liabilities are:

·            

Tax matters comprising: i) withholding income tax (IRRF), Contribution of Intervention in the Economic Domain (CIDE), Social Integration Program (PIS) and Contribution to Social Security Financing (COFINS) on remittances for payments of vessel charters; (ii) income from foreign subsidiaries and associates located outside Brazil not included in the computation of taxable income (IRPJ and CSLL); (iii) requests to compensate federal taxes disallowed by the Brazilian Federal Tax Authority; and (iv) collection and crediting of ICMS by several states;

·            

Labor matters comprising mainly actions requiring a review of the methodology by which the minimum compensation based on an employee's position and work schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e Regime - RMNR) is calculated;

·            

Civil matters comprising: (i) litigations regarding Sete Brasil; and (ii) administrative proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to pay additional special participation fees and royalties (production taxes) with respect to several fields; and (iii) a public civil action that discusses the alleged illegality of the gas supply made by the Company to its Nitrogen Fertilizer Production Unit.

·            

Environmental matters comprising indemnities for material and collective moral damages to the environment, material damages to the affected communities and IBAMA's environmental fines related to the upstream.

In the period from January to March 2020, the main events in possible contingencies are related to the following reductions: i) R$ 2,411 in civil litigation involving contractual issues; and ii) R$ 2,447 transferred to remote loss, related to the actions for collection of differences in ICMS rates resulting from sales of QAV to airlines in the domestic market, considering the state and federal laws recognizing the remission / amnesty on such debts, partially offset by monetary restatement.

15.4.   Class action and related proceedings

During the period from January to March 2020, there were no events that changed the assessment and judgment of arbitration and other legal proceedings in Argentina, as well as collective action in the Netherlands. In the latter case, it is only necessary to mention the occurrence of January 29, 2020, described in item 19.4.2 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The review of the key assumptions in the company's planning, according to note 3.3, did not result in material changes in the provision for the dismantling of areas, given its formation and composition of its cost structure, basically in dollars.

17.       The “Lava Jato (Car Wash) Operation” and its effects on the Company

The Company has monitored the progress of investigations under the “Lava Jato” Operation and, in the preparation of these unaudited interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2020, did not identify any additional information that would affect the adopted calculation methodology to write off, in the third quarter of 2014, amounts overpaid for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. The Company will continue to monitor these investigations for additional information in order to assess their potential impact on the adjustment made.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

20.       Impairment

The Company annually tests its assets for impairment or when there is an indication that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. 

During the first quarter of 2020, there were two events with significant and adverse effects on the oil and oil products market: (i) the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, with an abrupt reduction in the circulation of people, causing a double shock of supply and demand with retraction in world activity and (ii) failure in negotiations between members Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producers, led by Russia, to define production quotas, which contributed to the increase in the global oil supply and the reduction in price in early March.

These events led the company to adopt a series of measures aimed at preserving cash generation, in order to reinforce its financial strength and resilience of its businesses, as well as to review, and approve in the Board of Directors, some of its key premises of its Strategic Planning, such as Brent price, exchange rate, spreads of derivatives, among others.

Reserve volume estimates are prepared reflecting, in an integrated manner, the projects in the company's Strategic Planning portfolio, technical uncertainties and assumptions such as prices and costs. As of March 31, 2020, there was no change in the company's reserve volumes that impacted the quarterly financial statements.

In this scenario, the company assessed the economic recoverability of its assets and in the period from January to March 2020, impairment losses of R$ 65,301 were recognized, recorded in the income for the year, with emphasis on:

i) the effect of a new set of planning assumptions on the recoverable amount of several E&P fields (R$ 57,619), mainly in the CGUs Roncador, Marlim Sul; North Pole, Yellowfin East, Pole Berbigão-Sururu, Pole CVIT, and Mexilhão;

ii) hibernation of fields and platforms in shallow water (R$ 6,625), affecting the CGUs North Pole, Ceará-Mar Pole, Ubarana Pole and the Caioba, Guaricema and Camorim fields.

As of March 31, 2019, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets held for sale reversed net losses in their recoverable amounts in the amount of R$ 26, whereas in property, plant and intangible assets losses in the amount of R$ 82 were recognized, mainly due to losses in COMPERJ's CGU.

The following is the total impairment loss on assets, net of reversal, by nature of assets or CGUs, recognized in the income for the year:

20.1.   Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

20.1.1. Review of Cash Generating Units:

During the first quarter of 2020, management identified and assessed change in CGU North group (E&P Segment) excluding platforms PCH-1, PCH-2 and PNA-2, and fields of Anequim, Bagre, Cherne, Congro , Garoupa, Malhado, Namorado, Parati and Viola, who had their activities hibernated, with no expected resumption. Currently, this CGU is formed by Marlim, Albacora and Voador fields and remaining platforms.

20.1.2. Planning assumptions used in Impairment tests:

With a new set of planning assumptions in the company, approved by the Board of Directors, the estimates of the key assumptions used in the cash flow projections to determine the value in use of the CGUs on March 31, 2020 were:

Changes in these assumptions consider a slow recovery in demand and a moderate change in habits in developed economies, among other variables. The Company expect a lower level of demand in the long-term, taking into account:

·     

structural change in the world economy, with permanent effects arising from this economic shock, including changes observed in consumer habits, which tend to be permanent;

·     

increased world oil inventories, slowing down the rebalancing of supply and demand; and

·     

oil consuming industries, given the new scenario, will not keep their previously projected demands in the long-term, reducing consumption levels.

20.1.3. Main results of the tests for impairment of assets:

Information on the main impairment losses and reversals of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are described below:

a) Producing properties in Brazil

Our valuations of assets linked to oil and gas production fields in Brazil resulted in the recognition of net losses in the amount of R $ 64,244. The post-tax discount rate in constant currency applied to the exploration and production sector in Brazil was 7.3% p.a (6.7% p.a. on December 31, 2019). This amount is mainly due to:

·     

Losses in the amount of R$ 57,619, mainly related to the CGUs and corporate assets that provide services in the fields below, reflecting the new set of key planning assumptions for the medium and long term vision, in particular, a drop in Brent price, devaluation of the Real against the Dollar and retractions in GDP and demand. The main losses were:

Corporate asset

The company decided to hibernate an administrative building, in the state of Bahia, as a result of the vacancy of the facilities, resulting in the recognition of loss of the right to use asset in the amount of R$ 788.

SIX – shale plant

The Company recognized a R$ 208 impairment loss on this asset, due to the drop in the estimates for fuel oil prices, which are linked to the Brent prices, whose projections were revised by the Company this quarter. The post-tax discount rate in constant currency applied to the refining sector in Brazil is 6.2% p.a.

20.2.   Assets most sensitive to future impairment

Whenever the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU falls below the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to the recoverable amount. The following table presents the assets and CGU most sensitives to future impairment losses, presenting recoverable amounts up to 10% higher than their current carrying amount. Changes in material assumptions for impairment testing may result in the recognition of additional impairment charges on such assets in future periods.

20.3.   Assets classified as held for sale

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company recognized an R$ 8 impairment reversal, following the Board of Directors approval on the sale of Tucano Sul group of fields, arising from its fair value, net of disposal expenses.

In the first quarter of 2019, the company recognized reversals related to assets held for sale in the amount of R$ 108, mainly due to the sale of the Maromba field in the E&P segment, located in the Campos Basin.

20.4.   Investments in associates and joint ventures (including goodwill)

Value in use is generally used for impairment test of investments in associates and joint ventures (including goodwill). The basis for estimates of cash flow projections includes: projections covering a period of 5 to 12 years, zero-growth rate perpetuity, budgets, forecasts and assumptions approved by management and a post-tax discount rate derived from the WACC or the CAPM models, when applicable.

20.4.1.  Investment in publicly traded associate (Petrobras Distribuidora S.A. - BR)

In July 2019, with the additional sale of the Company’s interest in the subsidiary Petrobras Distribuidora (BR Distribuidora), carried out through a secondary public offering (follow-on), BR Distribuidora became an associate. Considering the fair value as the market value of its shares, at December 31, 2019, the Company estimated this investment was recoverable. However, at March 31, 2020, the fair value was below the equity-accounted investment, demanding the calculation of the value in use. The post-tax discount rate in constant currency applied was 6.6% p.a.

As the value in use of BR Distribuidora is higher than the investment accounted for the period, the Company estimate this investment is recoverable.

20.4.2.  Impairment losses on equity-method investments

In the first quarter of 2020, the company recognized, in the result of investment interests, net losses due to devaluation in the total of R$ 258 (reversal of R$ 8 in 2019). This loss was mainly due to the recognition of a loss due to devaluation on investment in a jointly controlled venture abroad, MP Gulf of Mexico, in the amount of R$ 287, due to the revision of the price assumptions resulting from the drop in market prices. International. The real post-tax discount rate, applied to the exploration and production sector in the USA, was 6.0% p.a.

28.2.   Distributions to shareholders

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions recommended by the World Health Organization and imposed by authorities regarding agglomerations and meetings, the Company’s Board of Directions approved the cancellation of the General Shareholders Meeting previously schedulled for April 27, 2020. Thus, the payment of remaining dividends based on the 2019 annual results is postponed with no defined schedule.

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Petrobras by the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period.

Diluted earnings (losses) per share are calculated by adjusting the net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Petrobras and the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period taking into account the effects of all dilutive potential shares (equity instrument or contractual arrangements that are convertible into shares).

Basic and diluted earnings (losses) are identical as the Company has no potential share in issue.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

 

In order to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk arising from financial instruments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, derivative transactions were carried out in the period. The depreciation of these currencies, especially the euro and the pound sterling, associated with the expressive depreciation of the real, explains the increased amounts of collateral associated with currency derivatives. As of March 31, 2020, the position of these guarantees was accounted for as other current assets (R$ 869) and other non-current assets (R$ 2,181).

A sensitivity analysis of the derivative financial instruments for the different types of market risks as of March 31, 2020 is set out as follows:

* The probable scenarios were calculated considering the following variations for risks: Oil and Derivatives Prices: fair value as of March 31, 2020 / Real x Dollar - 2.9% appreciation of the real. Source: Focus. Reasonably possible and remote scenarios consider 25% and 50% deterioration in the associated risk variables, respectively.

30.1.   Risk management of crude oil and oil products prices

The Company is usually exposed to commodity price cycles, although it may use derivative instruments to hedge exposures related to prices of products purchased and sold to fulfill operational needs and in specific circumstances depending on business environment analysis and assessment of whether the targets of the Strategic Plan are being met.

Crude oil

In March 2020, in order to preserve the Company's liquidity, Petrobras approved a hedge strategy for exported oil already shipped but not priced mainly due to the high volatility of the current context, both due to the effects of the oil price drop and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global oil consumption.

As a result of this strategy, from April 2020, transactions using forward and futures contracts were carried out. Forward transactions do not require initial disbursement, whereas future transactions require margin deposits, depending on the volume contracted. In the first quarter of  2020, there is no gain or loss related to crude oil derivatives.

Protection Strategy adopted in 2019

 

In the first quarter of 2019, there was a loss of R$ 356 due to the mark-to-market of oil put options and the appreciation of the commodity in the international market, which ended in September 2019, in addition to diesel and gasoline operations (NDF - Non Deliverable Forward), with a loss of R$ 69 and a gain of R$ 12, respectively, recorded in other operating expenses.

For more information on these operations, see note 36.1 of December 31, 2019.

Other commodity derivative transactions

Petrobras, by use of its assets, positions and market knowledge from its operations in Brazil and abroad, occasionally seeks to optimize some of its commercial operations in the international market, with the use of commodity derivatives to manage price risk. Changes in operations contracted for other commodities derivatives resulted in a R$ 1,037 gain in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 (a R$ 435 loss in the same period of 2019).

30.2.   Foreign exchange risk management

a)            Cash Flow Hedge involving the Company’s future exports

The carrying amounts, the fair value as of March 31, 2020, and a schedule of expected reclassifications to the statement of income of cumulative losses recognized in other comprehensive income (shareholders’ equity) based on a US$ 1.00 / R$ 5.1987 exchange rate are set out below:

In the first quarter of 2020, the expected export values ​​and consequently the highly probable export values ​​were impacted by the effects of the oil price war and the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).

Thus, the value of exports designated for hedge relationships are no longer considered highly probable, but are still expected to occur, and as a consequence the hedge relationships were revoked at March 31, 2020, in the amount of US$ 35,774 (R$ 185,982). The foreign exchange variation accounted for these operations within other comprehensive income up to the end of the quarter remains in shareholders' equity, and will be reclassified to the statement of income when exports occur. These revocations were responsible for the relevant increase in Dollar/Real exposure, which at the end of this quarter was negative by R$ 213,139, according to the table “Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments”.

In addition, exports designated for hedge relationships from April to December 2020 are no longer expected to occur, and were recycled from shareholder’s equity to the statement of income in the first quarter of 2020, in the amount of R$ 2,348.

In the first quarter of  2020, the Company also recognized a R$ 5 loss within foreign exchange gains (losses) due to ineffectiveness (a R$ 19 loss in the first quarter of 2019).

As of March 31, 2020, the ratio of future exports for which cash flow hedge accounting was designated to the highly probable future exports is 100% (91.2% on December 31, 2019).

A roll-forward schedule of cumulative foreign exchange losses recognized in other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2020 is set out below:

Changes in expectations regarding the realization of export prices and volumes in future revisions of the business plans may determine the need for additional reclassifications of the exchange variation accumulated in shareholders' equity to results. A sensitivity analysis with an average Brent oil price of US$ 10/barrel lower than that considered in the revised projections of the corporate scenarios in the year 2020 and within the horizon of the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan would indicate the need to reclassify the deferred exchange variation and stored in shareholders' equity for exports from April 2020 to December 2022, in the amount of R$ 11.4 billion.

A schedule of expected reclassification of cumulative foreign exchange losses recognized in other comprehensive income to the statement of income as of March 31, 2020 is set out below:

b) Open contracts

Cross currency swap – Pounds Sterling x Dollar

In the first quarter of 2020, the variation in contracted operations presented a loss of R$ 1,494, recorded in financial results (gain of R$ 173 in the first quarter of 2019). The company has no intention of settling such contracts before the maturity.

 

Non Deliverable Forward (NDF) – Euro x Dollar and Pounds Sterling x Dollar

The variation in contracted operations showed a loss of R$ 431 in the first quarter of 2020 (loss of R$ 306 in the first quarter of 2019), recorded in financial results. The company has no intention of settling such contracts before the maturity

Swap contracts – National consumer price index (IPCA) x Brazilian interbank offering rate (CDI) and CDI x Dollar

The mark-to-market of contracted swap operations IPCA x CDI showed a loss of R$ 247 in the first quarter of 2020, while the mark-to-market of contracted swap operations CDI x USD showed an accumulated loss of R$ 1,100 in the same period, both recorded in financial results. The company has no intention of settling such contracts before the maturity.

Changes in future interest rate curves (CDI) may have an impact on the company's results, due to the market value of these swap contracts. A sensitivity analysis on future interest rate curves (CDI) with a constant increase (parallel shock) of 100 basis points, keeping all other variables constant, would result in a positive impact on the result of approximately R$ 13, while a constant reduction (parallel shock) of 100 basis points, keeping all other variables constant, would result in a negative impact of approximately R$ 6.

For more information on such contracts, see note 36.2 of December 31, 2019.

c)Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments

A sensitivity analysis is set out below, showing the probable scenario for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments, computed based on external data along with stressed scenarios (a 25% and a 50% change in the foreign exchange rates), except for assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

30.3.   Interest rate risk management

The Company considers that interest rate risk does not create a significant exposure and therefore, preferably does not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk, except for specific situations faced by certain subsidiaries of Petrobras.

An analysis of the impact of the interest rate shock to which the Company's debts are indexed indicates that, for a 1% interest rate shock (or 100 basis points), the increase in interest expenses would be R$ 1,200. Due to the recent fluctuations, the impact of a 2% shock (or 200 basis points) was also tested, for which the increase would be R$ 2,401.

30.4.   Liquidity risk

Following its liability management strategy, the Company regularly evaluates market conditions and may enter into transactions to repurchase its own securities or those of its affiliates, through a variety of means, including tender offers, make whole exercises and open market repurchases, in order to improve its debt repayment profile and cost of debt.

 

Measures to protect the Company's liquidity

As a result of the abrupt reduction on the demand and prices of oil and fuel, caused by the impact of the escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic all over the world, in the same time of an increase in oil supply, the Company adopted a set of measures to reduce cash outflows in a scenario of uncertainty, in order to ensure its financial strength and the resilience of its businesses.

The measures adopted by the Company to protect liquidity are described in note 3.

31.       Related-party transactions

The Company has a related-party transactions policy, which is annually revised and approved by the Board of Directors, and is applicable to all the Petrobras Group, in accordance with the Company’s by-laws.

Expenses and Volumes Equalization Agreements

On April 30, 2020, Petrobras and partner companies in the shared deposits of Lula, Sépia and Atapu signed the Expenses and Volumes Equalization Agreements (AEGV), referring to the expenses incurred and the revenue obtained from the volumes produced by each party from the beginning of the concession contracts to the date of the effectiveness of the Production Individualization Agreements (AIP) of these shared deposits.

As a result of the equalization referring to the increase in participation in the three deposits and also in the respective affiliates, Petrobras will pay the other companies the consolidated net amount estimated at US$ 472 million, still subject to an exchange rate and financial update, in addition to price adjustments until the date of its settlement, which will occur in the 2nd quarter of 2020.

Perspectives of operational performance

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the sharp drop in economic activity and the price shock reflected in the company's results in April 2020. Due to lower economic activity and social isolation measures, we had a reduction in the volume of sales of derivatives in the domestic market, mainly QAV, gasoline and diesel, in approximately 90%, 50% and 30% compared to April 2019, impacting the use of the refining park. In addition, we had lower sales realization prices, due to the sharp drop in international prices. These factors were partially offset by the higher volume of oil exports. Oil production remained in line, without significant impacts. The financial effect of this reduction in the month of April 2020 could not yet be determined as the company's accounting and tax closing process is still ongoing.

Report on the review of quarterly information - ITR

(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese, as filed with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, rules of the CVM and of the International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS)

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim accounting information, individual and consolidated, of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (“the Company”), identified as Parent Company and Consolidated, respectively, included in the quarterly information form - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which comprises the balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and the respective statements of income and comprehensive income, statements of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for the three-months period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

The Company`s Management is responsible for the preparation of these interim accounting information in accordance with the CPC 21(R1) and the IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express our conclusion on this interim accounting information based on our review.

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Interim Information Review Standards (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries primarily of the management responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical procedures and other review procedures. The scope of a review is significantly less than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and, accordingly, it did not enable us to obtain assurance that we were aware of all the material matters that would have been identified in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

 

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim accounting information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that might lead us to believe that the individual and consolidated interim accounting information included in the aforementioned quarterly information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21(R1) and IAS 34, issued by the IASB, applicable to the preparation of the quarterly review - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

 

Other matters - Statements of added value

The individual and consolidated statements of value added for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management, and presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34, were submitted to the same review procedures followed together with the review of the Company's interim financial information. In order to form our conclusion, we evaluated whether these statements were reconciliated to the interim financial information and to the accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria set on Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
